Did you really buy the right subway house? The answer is here!

Recently, the hottest topic discussed by neighbors in the streets and alleys is the Guangzhou subway, which is closely related to everyone’s travel. The second and seventh phases of Guangzhou Metro Line 6 will be put into operation at the end of this year. From now on, babies in Luogang District can go to Tianhelang at any time, and friends in the city center can go to the International Sports Performing Arts Center in Luogang to watch concerts and You no longer have to worry about not having a car to get back to the ball game.

The good news is of course not limited to this one. Six new lines are planned to be opened in 2017, including: Line 9 Phase I, Line 4 South Extension, Line 13 Phase I, Line 14 Phase I, Line 14 branch line, Line 21. It is reported that Guangzhou-Foshan City Integration, Guangzhou-Qinghai Integration... are in planning and development, and the Guangzhou-Zhongshan-Zhuhai-Macao intercity rail project is also undergoing pre-feasibility studies. The transportation network in Greater Guangzhou will become more and more powerful in the future. There will no longer be traffic jams on the road, and subway travel will be more convenient and faster in the future. I feel really happy to hear this news!

The people who are happier than the neighbors are probably the real estate developers. When the subway was first laid, the surrounding properties sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. The subway brings not only transportation convenience, but houses close to the subway often also mean the supporting facilities in the core business district and the appreciation of the house. When many home buyers now buy a house, they not only care about the surrounding facilities, but also start to care about the distance to the subway station. In fact, we have many misunderstandings when buying subway houses.

Misunderstanding 1: Subway housing is considered to be close to each other

We often see that many developers will play tricks on the distance. Some real estate projects mark out the subway lines on traffic plans that have been scaled down several times, and then claim how close they are to the project. However, the distance from the map is really that small! In fact, it was only after the repairs were completed that I discovered that it took half an hour to walk from the community gate to the subway station. What kind of subway house is this?

Editor’s tip: distinguish between straight-line distance and walking distance. When actually viewing a house, be sure to walk to the subway station to calculate the actual time. You can consider a house that is 15 minutes away from the subway station, so that you can enjoy the convenience of the subway and have a relatively quiet living environment.

Myth 2: Subway housing will definitely increase in value

There is no doubt that the opening of the subway will change the city's operating model from both dimensions of time and space, and it will also objectively contribute to the reconstruction of the value of real estate along the line. Therefore, many developers put up slogans such as "The subway will be built in the next XX years" even before the subway is opened. The planning and construction of the subway does not happen overnight, although it will be relatively cheap to buy it before it is opened. But are you really willing to wait for ten or twenty years for your house to become a real subway house?

Editor’s tip: When buying a subway house, we should consider which area we should buy so that we can enjoy the later appreciation. Investors are also wary of what experts and professors say, such as the opening of the subway, will increase the value of nearby small apartments.

Myth 3: The closer to the subway, the better

Many home buyers think that the closer they live to the subway, the better. In fact, this is not the case. If you are too close to the subway, you not only have to endure the subway operation time The noise and the crowds during rush hour every day. Therefore, from the perspective of safety and privacy, the distance between the community and the subway station should be kept at least 200 meters, and the distance between the station entrance with a large flow of people and the community should be about 300 meters, so that you can enjoy the convenience of the subway. It also provides a relatively quiet living environment.

Editor’s tip: The distance between the house and the subway is too close and it is not suitable for living. The vibration and noise of the subway will seriously affect the quality of living. It especially has a great impact on the lives of the elderly and children. It takes 5 to 10 minutes to walk to the subway entrance, which is a suitable distance. Walking for 10 minutes before going to work every day is also beneficial to physical and mental health.

When buying a subway house, try to avoid the above three major misunderstandings. Choose a house with a moderate actual distance and relatively low traffic. The younger generation should not forget to consider the elderly and children.
